Speaking about the reason why she spoke those viral words, she said in the TikTok video:
"There was a program we had here. When we were doing the program, they told me that I should line up the children so they could come and collect biscuits and toothpaste. So that day I was saying, "Hello, hello children, on a straight line! On a straight line! On a straight line!" Before I knew it, a beat was following the "on a straight line." I was like, wow! I was dancing right where I was standing that day. I was saying "on a straight line, on a straight line," and the children were just scattering everywhere. Before I knew it, "on a straight line" went viral. To be honest, it’s still going viral. It was so unexpected to me."
To celebrate the teacher’s viral fame, the interviewer, Apostle K, donated educational materials, including books and pencils, to the students.
